Sounds like HTTP 1.2?

Since Google servers and Chrome already support it, the chicken-egg problem might be solved. Firefox has an incentive to implement it to make Google search faster and other web service should implement this to provide a smoother user experience.

HTTP 2.0      (1.2 would have to be backwards compatible)

Yes. And just to argument this, here is the relevant except of the FAQ:

Q: Is SPDY a replacement for HTTP?

A: No. SPDY replaces some parts of HTTP, but mostly augments it. At the highest level of the application layer, the request-response protocol remains the same. SPDY still uses HTTP methods, headers, and other semantics. But SPDY overrides other parts of the protocol, such as connection management and data transfer formats.
